Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a
product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the
environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adapta­tion of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics
equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and
during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics
equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important
from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of
electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emis­sions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running
continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

English

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environ­mental labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO
(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish
Society for Nature Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administra­tion).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, emission of electric
and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical and fire safety.
The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and
chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must
be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be
adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inac­tivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reacti­vate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of
electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is
to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of
flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants
are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing
bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproduc­tive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants
have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not
contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the
printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer
displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 require­ment states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics
components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in
high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also
demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the
labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light
system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing
this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture
and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs
break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on
earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous
system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion
of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

*

Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms

**

Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data
Channel) standard.
DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug &
Play functions on the monitor or PC. It transfers
information such as degree of resolution between
the monitor and PC. You can use this function if your
PC is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can
detect the Plug & Play monitor.
There are many varieties of DDC due to the differ­ences between systems. This monitor works with
DDC1 and DDC2B.
